How Much Does it Cost to Replace a Glass Stove Top in 2025?

Glass Stove Top Replacement Cost Factors

The price of replacing a glass stove top by SD Appliance Repair’s experts depends on various elements, such as the size and type of glass. Features, labor, and the number of burners also play a role.

Type of Glass

Glass stovetops come in two main varieties: tempered glass and ceramic glass. Tempered glass, priced between $240 and $640, is more budget-friendly but less durable than ceramic glass. This material undergoes a heating process to enhance its resistance to heat and impact. If it breaks, it shatters into dull fragments, minimizing the risk of injury.
Ceramic glass, created through a crystallization process, combines the qualities of glass and ceramic. Compared to tempered glass, it offers greater resistance to heat and sudden temperature changes. However, this durability comes at a higher cost, typically from $440 to $1,040.

Number of Burners

The number of burners on a stove can affect its costs in several ways. For starters, the more burners a furnace has, the bigger the glass stop needs to be, and therefore, the higher the costs. Plus, more burners often mean the design and installation process is more complex than for stoves with fewer burners, which can increase costs.

Size

The size of the glass top plays a significant role in determining replacement costs. Larger glass pieces are generally more expensive due to higher manufacturing expenses and the added complexity of handling, transporting, and installing them. Additionally, oversized glass tops may require extra reinforcement, increasing the cost.

Type of Stove

Glass stovetops come in two main varieties: induction and electric. Induction stove top replacements are the most expensive, ranging from $440 to $1,040. This higher cost is due to the specialized ceramic glass required to withstand the high heat, thermal shock, and magnetic fields associated with induction cooking. Induction stoves often include advanced technology and features, increasing the replacement cost.
On the other hand, electric stoves are usually made from tempered glass, which is less expensive because they don’t need the added durability required for induction cooking. Electric stove top replacements generally range from $240 to $640.

Warranty Coverage

If your stovetop is still within the warranty period, the manufacturer might help cover some or all of the replacement expenses. However, this depends on the details of your warranty. While some warranties include coverage for broken glass, others may only cover defects in materials or artistry. Be sure to review your warranty to understand what is specifically included.

Additional Features

The presence of extra features on a glass stove top, such as touch controls, sensors, or special coatings, can raise the replacement costs. These added features often require careful installation, alignment, or calibration, which can increase the time and labor expenses for the replacement process.

Labor

Hiring an SD Appliance Repair
technician for appliance repairs typically ranges from $90 to $240 per hour. The time required to install a replacement depends on factors such as the size and type of glass and the complexity of the replacement process. For example, stovetops with more burners or advanced features generally take longer to replace, which can increase costs. However, most replacements are usually completed within two hours.
